Cooks' note:
* You should crush the graham crackers so it resembles flour. I placed them in a Ziplock bag and used a cup. Great way to blow off a little steam.** Depending on how thick you want the glaze increase the powder and decrease the almond milk. My glaze was pretty thin. The cake absorbed it all, giving it a little shine and the bread pudding like consistency.
